We very much enjoyed our stay in this comfortable little studio. Walking the nature preserve was nice and the neighborhood featured many beautiful houses and flowers.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our 3-night stay in this very comfortable studio in the foothills at the edge of Santa Barbara. It was as described and depicted in the photos, and very clean. The courtyard was a wonderful place to sit and do some reading. The landscaping all around the yard is gorgeous. Although it's several minutes drive away from downtown Santa Barbara and the harbor, that's as much an advantage as a disadvantage. And right at the bottom of the street is the San Marco Foothill Preserve with access to a number of hiking trails. When we walked down there to explore, we bumped into our hosts, Christina and Michael, who were just finishing their hike and generously lent us their hiking poles (and did so again the next day--thanks!). Except for that chance encounter, we did not see them during our stay, so the whole visit felt very private. But Christina was very responsive whenever I communicated with her. Would definitely stay there again.

This is a studio apartment next to their main home, but the hosts have created a space that feels very much like its own little oasis. The apartment gets lots of natural light, and it is a decent size with a separate walk-in closet on the way to the bathroom. The location is wonderful, only a few minutes from the highway (and so about 15 minutes for virtually everything) but still very secluded and tranquil. The only caveats are that it is a studio apartment: the bed is a pull-down Murphy bed and the kitchen is not set up for serious cooking (small fridge, no oven, etc.) We were there for a two day escape, and it was perfect for us.

A great place to stay during UCSB’s graduation weekend. Not too far from Goleta, close to downtown, roomy enough for hanging out a little with extra family members between events. The accommodations are homey.

We left the hosts a very detailed review in their register on the desk of the unit. All positive.

The Palace fit our vacation needs perfectly. It is very comfortable, has beautiful views and the location is great. Christina and Michael were very welcoming and knowledgable about Santa Barbara. We will come back.

This is an magnificent property and comfortable studio to spend a few restful nights in. The setting is quiet and well located to enjoy Santa Barbara. Christine and Michael were very attentive and welcoming and we plan to return. Carol and Fred

We loved the Palace - beautiful and comfortable space in the gorgeous backdrop of the Foothills. It felt just enough ‘away’ to be peaceful but a quick 10 min to downtown. Our hosts were also very helpful and communicative. Highly recommend!
